Written by Roberto Kusabbi, @RKTweets Vines are here to say. No matter what News International want. The Premier League issued a diktat on sharing Vines from Premier League footage this weekend. This particular iron has been in the fire for awhile. Even sharing links of Vines would be in breach. Apparently. Yet the first weekend […]

By @RKTweets A big trend in the transfer windows of the last few years has been the ‘saga’. This summer we have Bale, Suarez and Rooney, Lamela, Willian and the list goes on… In years gone by the names Fabregas, Van Persie, Ashley Cole and Modric have all been the main characters. But while the […]

With James Beattie (Accrington Stanley) and David Weir (Sheffield United) stepping into their first managerial roles this summer following successful recent playing careers, this week we consider the best and worst starts for those fresh from their playing careers that have headed into the chaotic world of football management.

With the news that Liverpool tried to swap £35million flop Andy Carroll for Carlos Tevez we at 1FITG Towers went on a search for the conversation transcript. Here is what we found – disclaimer the following may or may not have *actually* happened: Liverpool: <Ring> <Ring><Ring><Ring> “Hi, is Gary Cook there?” Man City: “Er..he doesn’t […]
